She kicks ass consistently, and is quite oppressive.
Her Ult, with CD is 52 seconds or something...tibbers last for...what, 45 seconds? Its a short cool down for a potentially game changing ult. So literally every encoounter with Annie, she has tibbers if she needs it.
Annie was in a fine state before, she really was. Riot has no gaming integrity, just all about the money.

You realize Annie was FAR more oppressive before her changes, right? Her initial burst used to be stronger, her ult would stun you even if you flashed it's casting, and her E lasted for a lot longer. The changes not only gave her more counterplay, but also added a bit more complexity to her kit, making her slightly less easy to play.
Next, lets go over some of the points you made. If she's kicking ass constantly, it's because you're making a lot of mistakes. Annie's whole concept is that she's very simple and predictable, lacking the flashy tools that a lot of newer champions have. Therefore, her strongest point is punishing mistakes, such as catching people out of position or flanking people without them realizing.
Her ult is potentially game changing, but because of it's short range and predictability it isn't all that reliable. Also, it's cooldown is only 52 seconds at rank 3 with 40% CDR. Until then, it's got a decent time before it's up. And just because Tibbers lasts 45 seconds doesn't mean he will. Usually he's killed off throughout the course of the fight, or when Annie gets killed. If he's still alive at the end of the fight, it usually means Annie's team won.
How the ACTUAL fuck is this a "all Riot cares about is money" issue? They made thematic and healthy changes to a champion that's already really cheap. That statement shows your total ignorance of this topic.
TheDarkinLegend1 votesI don't play mid, so I don't lane against her. She always getting fed at mid, and her ult is too stupid powerful now.
Riot does only care about money. This is always an issue in every topic always.
48983507DEL11 votesThey actually weakened her ultimate with the changes, at least in terms of frustration and initial power, so idk why you're complaining now if you weren't before.
You realize this game is free to play, right? They are a company, so yes they are looking to make money. How does Annie's rework have ANYTHING to do with this?
MIKO CHAN1 votesI have an question. How in the world can you get riot points without buying them !
Tract1 votesYou can't be serious.... Annie has ALWAYS been short range and extremely high burst and damage, she's pretty iconic at this point. If she was OP, don't you think she would be banned, ever? Wouldn't she be picked a lot in the LCS, while she almost never gets picked(and actually never banned)?

You know flash is a thing
Tract1 votesOf course, flash Tibbers is almost as iconic as the champ herself. Its also on a big CD and for Annie to do it, she needs to blow her ONLY ESCAPE to jump INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE OTHER TEAM as a EXTREMELY SQUISHY GLASS CANNON MAGE. Not to mention then not have flash for several minutes depending on her masteries.

I'll be honest, Since i started playing this game. I never liked Annie. I do not think shes fair. I do not think shes balanced. I do not think she requires skill.
It doesnt matter if its her only escape. Flash is a thing, and when it kills the adc, its usually always worth
Tract2 votesBeing on the receiving end of her burst always makes everyone think that, including me. But in the grand scene of things, she brings far less to the table than other champs and is t really all that OP, huge damage yes, but that's it, and mostly single target unless u bunch up. Her range lets her sometimes get killed before she's even close enough. I main Azir and many times I've kited down an Annie and never even letting her erase me. If she gets cc'd shes 100% screwed and a lot of cc ountranges her. Flash has a far longer recharge than respawn. And if your litteraly only taking Annie for a late game flash Tibbers you'd be served far better by a midlander or support useful all the time. She's annoying as hell to fight, but overall, she's not OP.
disclaimer I'm not defending her because I play her. I almost never play Annie, once a season at most, she's boring as hell.
TheDarkinLegend1 votesShe always wrecks my team. That is just what I see, all the time, over the last 20 or so Annies Ive played against.
PhantomGG1 votesHow is buffing a champion who isn't even that popular while only costing about two dollars of RL money make riot money?
TheDarkinLegend1 votesThen its even worse, They buff a champion who had a clearly defined identity, play style, and was not under powered.....for..what reason exactly?
48983507DEL12 votes...you realize her identity and playstyle wasn't changed at all, right? They literally just enhanced what was unique about her as a "bear mage", and weakened her overbearing giant-damage ultimate to compensate. She still wants to do the same thing in team fights, but now it's just more important to use Tibbers correctly once he's been summoned. What did they change that killed that?
MIKO CHAN1 votesWell Annie does get pretty annoying with her ult smashed in your face,but I play her so it's sort of fun seeing champions die in 5 seconds. Besides that Annie is annoying. Also just in reminder Annie's not anoyinger than teemo.
